My milkshake brings all the bloggers to the yarrrrd ♫

Hellooo!

I'm finally back you guys!

- or actually, I got back yesterday around 2PM, but me blogging was just not gonna happen. I tried editing some photos but I just ran dead halfway through, so I gave up and looked through people's blogs insteads. So many entries to read after being gone for a week : D

I brought back some random photos (mostly of food) and then a small update on things. But first! To all the random photos.. lol. I always cook at lot at Tanja's place, so obviously there'll be a lot of food, candy or drinks. Haha!

My mom bought me this cute, purple dress a while back. She found it at a store discounted from $28 to $7,50! WOO for bargains! Thanks mom ♥

I also finally got my kkcenterhk lashes after waiting since Jan. 24th or something. BSH, I hate slow shipping. These are the 'ES A801'-style (on the right) and some other style that I can't find (on the left). Boo.. The ES A801 ones are a lot longer IRL than they look on the site.. which makes me happy. Haha!

Tanja's dad's wife taught us how to do these really yummy milkshakes with milk, frozen strawberries and a tiny bit of sugar. You just pour it into a high container (that comes with the hand blender - don't wanna use a regular glass, as the blender may break it), blend it with a hand blender, pour it into tall glasses, add a straw and enjoyyy.

Here's what you need for one serving:

2 dl. of milk

1 tea sp. of sugar

6-8 frozen strawberries

You can always use whatever kind of milk you want, add as much sugar as you prefer etc. You can also try with different kinds of berries and fruits. (blackberries, raspberries, banana, mango etc.) It's super low on fat and general calories, because you don't need to add ice cream to give it that airy, whipped consistency. SO delicious!

Guess what else I got at Tanja's place?

ANOTHER BREAK-OUT!

ARGHHHHH wtf?! I don't know what the heck is going on! The past three times I've been to her apartment I've gotten break-outs, even though I bring my skincare and cleanse my face as usual. I'm thinking that it's the water there, because after the first shower I took, my skin started looking weird. I got tiny bums, redness and 5-6 pimples near my chin, up towards the cheek bone and on my forehead. I looked TERRIBLE! I still have a bit of scarring left, but the redness isn't so visible anymore. Still got some bumps left as well, but hopefully it'll go away soon.

Now to a something I've been excited to talk to you guys about.. I've been having MASSIVE hair-issues lately. As many of you may already know, my hair is naturally extremely wavy, leaning towards almost curly in some areas. I've learned to really appreciate my waves over the years, but this also means that having long bangs just doesn't work. I intended to grow out ALL my hair (bangs included) and keep my bangs 'neutral' to the side with my other hair. But that just doesn't work. It parts really awkwardly because my hair is too heavy to stay on the side, so it just looks ridiculous by now..

My fabulous mom made a deal with me - she'd pay half of the cost for a haircut, if I could pay the other half myself. WOOOO for moms! \(^o^)/ -dances- So now.. I'm trying to gather photos. I found these three:

I hope I don't seem like too much of a Keikk-stalker for using one of her photos O_x"

What do you guys think? (press pic for larger version)

They all represent what I want pretty well. The two last photos (on top of eachother) are photos of my hair around spring/early summer last year. I really miss those bangs. Whenever they grew too long, I could just snatch up my mom's dog scissors and chop them shorter again.. Super convenient..

Aww that sucks that your skin broke out from the water - I've never heard of this happening to anyone before. And you should go for the haircut! I think bangs would look really cute on you - I really like the style in the middle picture :D

I kinda know your problem, because I have the same one too XD its neither long or neither short, its somewhere between and you can't really do any hairstyle without hairpins (nothing against them, they are cute), but yeah, like you said the morning styling is kinda tiring... :x
